direct vent heater A type of combustion heating system in which combustion air is drawn directly from outside and the products of combustion are vented directly outside. These features are beneficial in tight, energy-efficient homes because they will not depressurize a home and cause air infiltration, and backdrafting of other combustion appliances. For more details, see direct-vent fireplace. Related category • HEATING Also on this site: Encyclopedia of Science Transport Concepts & Designs (partner site) |
